Lesane Parish Crooks, better known to fans as Tupac or 2Pac, was one of the greatest musicians of all time, having sold 75 million records by the young age of 25, Tupac was expected to dominate the world of music and Hollywood in the 21st Century, but somewhere along the way, things just went horribly wrong. Instead of reaching the music hall of fame, and walking the red carpets of Hollywood, Tupac is now a subject of enduring conspiracy theories, and instead of amazing music, we’ll have to stay satisfied with best Tupac quotes taken from his music.
Throughout his life, Shakur, and those around him were constantly found on the wrong side of the law, his parents were Black Panther Activists, and in fact, just a month before he was born his mother was cleared of 150 counts of conspiracy against the US Government. Everyone from his godmother and godfather to this step-father and brother have been on the hook for a variety of crimes, including robbery, murder, aiding and abetting in the escape of a prisoner, etc.
Much of Tupac’s music and lyrics have been influenced by his early childhood and surroundings, dealing with racism, violence, crime, and hardships.
Despite his fame and early success, Tupac constantly found himself on the wrong side of the law, with various charges of assault and spent time in prison for rape. He also had conflicts with various street gangs, which ultimately lead to his death in September 1996, when he was shot at 4 times in a drive-by shooting.
